Controversy's favourite child, Luis Suarez is sure to provide fans with some truly memorable moments at the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2018 in Russia and will lead the Uruguay attack once again. After a strong season with FC Barcelona, he will be one of the main players to watch out for at the World Cup and is easily one of the deadliest strikers in the world. He is renowned for being a complete forward - capable of scoring from any position with his feet and head.

Over his career, he has won as many as 16 trophies, which includes five league titles in Netherlands and Spain, a UEFA Champions League trophy with Barca and also a Copa America trophy with the national team. At individual level, he is highly decorated as well, winning two European Golden Shoes, a Dutch league Golden Boot, a Premier League Golden Boot and the famed Pichichi trophy in 2016, awarded to the top scorer in the Spanish La Liga.

He began his career at home with Nacional before joining Dutch side Groningen, followed by Ajax. In 2010, he won the Dutch Footballer of the Year award and made 159 appearances for Ajax, scoring 111 goals, before joining Liverpool in 2011. With the Reds, he enjoyed great success in front of goal, scoring 82 in 133 matches, which includes a mammoth 31 league goals in the 2013-14 season. He was awarded the PFA and FWA Player of the Year that campaign, and also saw him share the European Golden Shoe with Cristiano Ronaldo.

His performance earned him a move to FC Barcelona, where he formed a deadly attacking trio alongside Neymar and Lionel Messi in his first season and won a treble. He has spent four seasons at Barca so far, scoring 152 goals in 198 matches for the club and winning the Pichichi on two occasions, breaking the duopoly of Ronaldo and Messi.

For the national team, he is the highest-ever goalscorer with 51 goals and is expected to cross the 100 caps mark during the upcoming World Cup. He led Uruguay to a continental championship in 2011 as well, where he was named Player of the Tournament.

His career has also been marked by a number of controversies, one of which saw him deliberately handle the ball on the goal-line in extra-time against Ghana at the 2010 FIFA World Cup quarterfinal. He has bitten opponents on three separate occasions over the course of his career, including once at the last World Cup in Brazil, and in 2011, he also received a ban for racially abusing Manchester United's Patrice Evra. Additionally, he has often been accused of and even admitted to diving on a number of occasions.
